igourmet.com is saluting blue cheese by offering this International Blue Cheese Assortment, containing four of the world's greatest blue cheeses. For creating blue cheese in the first place, we owe thanks to a micro-organism named penicillium roqueforti. This microscopic spore attaches itself to a young cheese and, assuming the cheese is laced with small cracks, multiplies and spreads blue mold throughout as the cheese matures. By the way, this little microbe is also the principal agent used in creating penicillin, the world's first antibiotic. And now, back to the cheese...

Royal Blue Stilton: This special Stilton, still produced in Leicestershire, is full, rich and creamy. Its shocking blue veins radiate outward from a natural, crinkly brown crust, revealing layers and folds of honeyed, cheddary flavor. (7.5 oz)

Paladin Blue: This specialty from German Cheesemaker Paladin has an extremely mild and creamy flavor. Paladin does crumble, but has enough moisture to slice as well. Take it along with you on a picnic, or add it to your favorite green salad. (7.5 oz)

Mountain Gorgonzola: With its white interior laced with streaks of blue, Mountain Gorgonzola is an attractive table cheese and a savory ingredient in your favorite salad. Or- try it the Italian way - on a plate drizzled with honey. (7.5 oz)

Fourme d'Ambert: This AOC (name controlled) creamy blue cheese is a lovely French treasure. Fourme d'Ambert is cave-aged for a minimum of two months, made from raw cow's milk and has a tremendous, creamy, full-bodied flavor. (7.5 oz)

Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

I bought this for my father and it was there first first in 10 years that he actually used. :-)

I didn't try this cheese myself but sent it as a gift to a friend. She was delighted with it.

Great varied cheese options

I shipped this cheese assortment to my dad as part of his Christmas gift (The man loves blue cheese). Though there were some issues with the delivery that resulted in his not getting the gift on time, it seemed to still be alright several days later when he did finally receive the package. My mom and dad thoroughly enjoyed trying all of the different cheeses, and they each had their own favorites so there's something for everyone in this assortment. Would definitely try ordering again, maybe not around the holidays though.
